luke, tell us what's going on. the house bill, a senate bill passed with bipartisan support aims to trim $4.5 billion from the federal food stamp program. the house bill aims to trim a much more sizeable amount, $16.5 billion. tell us a little bit about the political optics of this. >> well, look, agricultural legislation is always interesting on capitol hill because you have a bevy of competing interests. you have dairy farmers, you have syrup farmers, corn farmers, meat farmers, everything in between. however, 80% of the farm bill pertains to food stamps. they fall under the direction of the agriculture department. in here, you have a lot of conservatives on the right that have said look, these food stamp programs, they are too big, too bloated, they create a culture of dependency, we need to cut them and shrink them. you all have a lot of liberals who say no, you have obviously seen these dire economic times we live in, people are dependent on these food stamps because they are actually in real need of sustenanc

thanks for being with us. who exactly is going to benefit or potentially be denied coverage under the expanded medicaid proposal here? >> so the group we're looking at is mostly adults who are not parents and anyone earning less than 133% to the federal poverty line, a little less than $15,000 a year. those are the folks we are really talking about. most of them don't get covered right now. it's a common misconception that medicaid covers all low income folks. but actually, if you're an adult without children, you don't tend to get coverage. that's really what's on the line here for about 17 million americans. >> so that's about $270 a week, those individuals would be making, right? >> right. that's right. >> what are their options if they are in one of these states and don't get medicaid? >> they could buy a private plan that would more than likely be out of their price range. the average private plan will eat up a huge amount of their income. they could go to the e.r., they could kind of use any resources fo

not a term i would use. he went on to answer the question. are we maybe beginning to see a turning point in terms of the vitreal that has been thrown at this president? which i think is disproportionate to any other administration, incidentally. >> well, any step in that direction, given the vitreal there has been, is obviously hardening. i think the republican party all along has realized that it kind of opened this pandora's box with the tea party. and it drove them for a while and kept them alive at a time when they thought they were finished. but they also realized that it had the potential to blow up in their face and to go so far that they wouldn't be able to contain it. so i think there is an effort to rein that in and say we like being nasty and like being partisan but this is where we draw the line. they're clearly doing that here. in senator mccain's case, at least, he's also doing it out of honest conviction. i mean, this is a guy who believes in that kind of sense of personal honor, whether you t
